Behaviour of PMSG wind turbines with fractional controllers to a voltage decrease in the grid

Abstract

The effect on permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbines due to grid voltage decrease and fifth harmonic is studied in this paper by computer simulations. A multilevel power converter topology and two control strategies, namely fractional and integer-order controllers, are considered in order to evaluate that effect. A comparison between the two control strategies is presented. Finally, conclusions are duly drawn
